President
Gambia Football Federation (GFF) Mr. Lamin Kaba Bajo and first- vice president
Mr. Bakary K. Jammeh have both retained their positions as members of the
Confederation of African Football (CAF) Africa Cup of Nations and cadet
competitions respectively.
The
composition of the various Sub-Committees for the 2019-2021 cycle was made
public recently by CAF including its 21-member Executive Committee headed by
President Ahmad Ahmad and Mouad Hajji as its Secretary General.
Mr.
Bajo retained his position in the Committee for the organization of the Africa
Cup of Nations.
Twenty-Seven
(27) members made up one of CAF’s most important Sub- Committees also headed by
Ahmad while Mr. Jammeh is among a 26-member strong committee for CAF’s U-23,
U-20 and U-17 competitions.
The
GFF is further making numbers into the CAF ranks as Third Vice President
Retired General Lang Tombong Tamba, Executive Member Maimuna Kanteh and Women’s
Football Committee Member Arret Njie-Jah are all appointed as CAF Match
Commissioners for the 2019-2021 cycle.
The
recent appointments of GFF officials into CAF Committees will add to the few
that have a relatively good pedigree with the continental football governing
body.

Mr. Bajo and Jammeh have been on the CAF raider for the flagship and junior
championships over the previous period.

Bajo was previously a member of the U-20 Organizing Committee where he attended
the CAF U-20 Championship in Zambia 2017 before been elevated to the flagship
tournament as a member.
He took part in the Total AFCON 2019
tournament in Egypt and is been credited for his sterling performances as match
commissioner during the period.
As
a member of the U-17 and U-20 Organizing Committee, Mr. Jammeh also made great
performances at the Total CAF U-20 tournament in Niger before recently been
appointed to the U-23 tournament in Egypt where he headed Group B in Alexandra
as the match commissioner.
The
